Coldwell Banker® Field Survey Reveals Possible Disconnect in First-Time Home Buying Process

Burlington, ON (April 16, 2009) First-time home buyers are primarily concerned with affordability when choosing a new home, but their expectations may be too high relative to their current financial buying power, according to a Coldwell Banker® survey conducted among its brokers and sales representatives in markets across North America. While nearly half of the Coldwell Banker survey respondents reported that affordability was the No. 1 concern for this group, 82 percent said today's first-time home buyers consider move-in conditions to be very important when searching for homes. In contrast, only 7 percent are looking to purchase "fixer-upper" homes that they could buy at a lower price and renovate themselves.

"Today, this group has greater home expectations because they have grown up more accustomed to their parents' lifestyles."
